This not an astrology site
We are into life transformation, alignment and manifestation — and we use planetary transits to gauge what needs changing in your life.
We use astrology transits to help you manifest, clear out, deconstruct and upgrade. To find your inner goddess, your magnificent queen and you connection to source.
We don’t offer horoscopes only, since horoscopes work on your sun sign. Even though your sun sign is your solar spirit and a big clue to who you came here to be, it isn’t the most important element in your chart.
Your individual natal chart
Each person was born a certain time and date, and at that time and date the planets were all in a specific position in the sky. No two moments are the same when it comes to the skies, since there are so many planets transiting and moving at different speeds.
Astrology uses the positions of the planets of that exact time when you were born. This is your NATAL CHART.
In your natal chart you’ll find that Pluto, Saturn, Moon, Sun, all the various planets were at specific places. We call these your natal planets. There are countless astrology sites where you can see your natal chart and find the exact position of your natal planets, and unless you know astrology, it will probably confuse you.
We use a table that lists the transits you’re having, since there are only a few transits worth worrying about for long-term growth. Pluto, Neptune, Nodal, Jupiter and Saturn transits are the ones we like to look at.
So what is a transit?
Every part of the sky can be mapped.
When today’s planets move — or transit — around the sky, they cross paths with your natal planets.
A transit is specifically when one of the current-day transiting planets makes a link, or angle, with one of your own natal planets (meaning to the position that your natal planet was when you were born). The link — or angle — that the transiting planet makes to one of your natal planets can be a square, conjunction, opposition or trine. This is called an angle.
Various angles
Square, conjunctions, oppositions are difficult angles to experience, whilst trines are more harmonious. Each of these angles, however, causes the transiting planet and your natal planet to have a conversation with each other.
If it’s a square or opposition then that conversation will be the planetary equivalent of a tense conversation or argumnent … a fractious/nerve-wracking/fucktangular event… (unless you’ve learned the lesson that the transiting planet wants you to learn)
A trine is flow and surrender and harmony, so it’s an easier way to learn the lesson.
A conjunction can be either, depending on various aspects, but often is a little less fucktangular than a square or opposition.
Which transits do we need to pay attention to?
The most life-changing planetary transits come from current day Pluto, Saturn, Neptune and Uranus. Jupiter can be worthwhile paying attention to as well.
Why? Because these planets take years to move places, and cause more time- and life-effecting events. Venus, Sun, Moon and Mars are way easier to handle on a month-to-month basis, even though they may screw up your day once in a while. Or they may, in the case of Jupiter and Venus, shower you with riches and roses.
Still confused?
If you’re still confused then don’t worry. We have the capability to tell you if you’re experiencing a transit, and like the countless other people we’ve worked with, the techniques we give you will show you how to make profound and prosperous changes in your life.
So that you can upgrade and manifest a life you actually desire and deserve.
